But I thought that Activision Blizzard was in a strong position so that investors had strong reason to buy it? Personally, I think the smartest move would be to sell off IP and studios individually (in some cases, selling them as a unit - Modern Warfare can go with Infinity Ward, for instance). They already shut down most of the less valuable studios, so the ones that remain should be worth quite a bit. MS bought Rare for $375 million - I'd expect that both Treyarch and Infinity Ward would be significantly more valuable than that. EA bought Bioware and Pandemic together for $775 million. I honestly just can't see investors paying even $8 billion for Activision. |
They do but it's still a lot of money not many companies can afford it $8 billion is a hell of a lot of money and the economy is still in a bad place and credit is not easy to get especially in the reigon of $8 billion, and many of the companies that can afford it aren't interested in spending the money, MS was never going to buy them as Acti-Blizz would lose most of their value instantly.
